Everytime we feature a multimedia device review here at OSNews the question is always the same: "...but does it support OGG?". Well, this time we do have such a device in our lab to test out for you. Geeks.com sent us in the iRiver E10, a powerful multimedia music and video player.

Because some of us like our OSes and their file managers. BeOS and Open_Tracker in my case, and the programs 'libmtp' & 'gtkpod/libgpod' don't work at present with BeOS/Haiku.

But the most important reason is portability, my present HP camera supports access to the pictures as an USB Drive and that not only I can use it on my BeOS machines without extra software, I can plug it into just about anybody's machine *WITHOUT* installing drivers and still transfer the needed files.

I have used my ex-girlfriend's computer only once in the last two years to transfer pictures to her that she wanted. I have transfered pictures twice in the last year to my brother's computer and the same for my girlfriend.

None of them have HP cameras like me, are you suggesting that it makes sense for me to install HP's CD of software for such little use? Any software? When I can just plug in and use the device as a disk drive?
